Does anyone want to start a meeting? I'd prefer to host it downtown near the burrard skytrain station so it is accessible to everyone. Optimal location would be a quiet and casual restaurant with WiFi.

Sign me up! I think gloomer's from around these parts too.

And unless I'm missing something about meeting codes, shouldn't this be 604/778 ?

You're right, I'm retarded and had a brain lapse as I was thinking of the first three digits of someone else's phone number, I shall correct it.

Well we have 4 people now including myself and a friend who I plan to get involved. I'll try to do some location scoping but if anyone has a suggestion or can even offer somewhere that'd be great. For now this thread is the "Official Vancouver BinRev Meeting" website, if we have a successful meeting I'll throw a more official website together.

//EDITThinking about it I don't even see a purpose for a website, this thread is more then enough. We should be concentrating on the actual meeting and not the peripherals.

I guess we could also drop by the next 2600 meeting? I don't care about the size, it's fun to meet and take a stab at something or mess with some new tech etc.

When I need Wi-Fi I usually pop down to the Blenz @ Granville skytrain station, it's not all that quiet and availability of seating varies but they do have power outlets which is a bonus.

But probably a smaller coffee shop would be better, considering the fact that we may become regulars and as such we'll get some perks, possibly.

I sent some e-mails to the 2600 mailing list and the moderator who controls it never approved any of my messages. They also have seemed not to have had a meeting in a couple months, from what I can tell it's essentially on hiatus. Furthermore the 2600 meeting takes place in a pub (though I'm not sure if it's ID on entrance), this would exclude at least one potential member I know.

I was thinking the same thing about finding a smaller mom & pop. We could get some serious perks if we agreed to a minimum tip/tab type deal, though I'm not entirely sure what perks we'd want. Considering I live in the downtown core I should get off my lazy ass and actually check out some places.

Well just to have a table/couch/whatever reserved for when we decide to hold our meeting... and maybe no questions about the soldering tools [of course, as long as we're not obnoxious or do anything dangerous.]

Let us know if you find anything, appreciate the time you're taking to walk the streets.
